Granulomatosis with polyangiitis and myxomas are rare conditions previously described to co-exist. Cardiac masses are often presumed to be myxomas rather than lesions of granulomatosis with polyangiitis.
We present a review of the symptoms for the two diagnoses along with the first verified case.
Two possible risk factors for developing myxomas (VEGF and IL-6) are explored and discussed.
肉芽肿性多血管炎和黏液瘤均较为罕见,此前曾有文献报道这两种疾病可同时存在。心脏肿块通常被认为是黏液瘤,而非肉芽肿性多血管炎的病变。
我们回顾了这两种诊断的症状,并报告了首例经证实的病例。
探讨并讨论了导致黏液瘤形成的两个可能的危险因素(VEGF 和 IL-6)。
